I don't buy it for a minute but I have to remind myself of it. As humans, it's what we do: judge others. It's why politics work, why religions work, why wars exist. We are right, and they are wrong.
But I don't think so. I think we are all right. Can't we be? If we all perceive the world in different ways, why can't we come to our own conclusions without making other people wrong?
Oh, I'm not great at this. I'm better than I was. But it doesn't take much to get me going. Today: parenting styles. But I keep learning - immediately after I want to judge- that I can't.
Do you know why? I see these kids turning out fine, anyway. And then I see parents doing the very best they can, and their kids going ape shit on them anyway. So it's probably just another mind screw thing, right? We do the best we can with what we have, and it's a coin flip on how the kids deal?
Isn't that great? I'm off the hook. I don't have to judge anyone, AND I don't have to carry a ton of parental guilt around because it isn't worth it. Someone might have completely different ideas than me, and they are just as right as I am! OR, just as wrong. Anyways, it's a win-win. Our different perspectives and different perceptions and our different experiences all color the sky a different color for each of us. And it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
